3109.5.3 Hydrodynamic Loads

2014 FBC - Building, 5th edition > 31 Special Construction > 3109 Structures Seaward of a Coastal Construction Control Line > 3109.5 Flood Loads During a 100-Year Storm > 3109.5.3 Hydrodynamic Loads
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Habitable structures shall be designed in consideration of the hydrodynamic loads which would be expected under the conditions of a 100-year storm event. Calculations for hydrodynamic loads shall consider the maximum water pressures resulting from the motion of the water mass associated with a 100-year storm event. Full-intensity loading shall be applied on all structural surfaces above the design grade which would affect the flow velocities.
